Abstract
Various methods and processing systems are disclosed that provide an access termination component in a service provider network for managing network traffic. The method may include receiving dynamic host configuration protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) that solicits messages from one or more customer premise devices (CPEs) seeking network configuration information, transmitting DHCPv6 provisioning responses to the one or more CPEs, each DHCPv6 provisioning response which may include IPv6 provisioning parameters, updating an IPv4 prefix table with IPv4 prefixes, the IPv4 prefix table storing information related to networks that share IPv4 addresses, determining a 48-bit address and port set identifier value and a corresponding media access control (MAC) address, and adding the determined 48-bit address and port set identifier value and the corresponding MAC address into an address and port set identifier to MAC hash table.
